Hello!

Hi there! I have been thinking of starting a new blog for a long time, and finally I decided to start a new one today.

Well, the issue with a new blog is of course deciding on a few key issues. One of it is the blog's name. I felt that I want to use a nickname that somehow represents my name. As such, I embark on a soul (I mean name) searching activities in google and suddenly, I have an idea that I want to select a name that starts with "Ty" (since "Ty" represents me 😉). After giving it some thought, the following name appeared in my mind:

Tywin Lannister? 

I guess not. If you are familiar with Game of Thrones, I am sure you are familiar with his ending? 😱 Hell no!

Well of course with Tywin Lannister, one would think of another character in Game of Thrones:

Tyrion Lannister

Frankly, I like this character. But, I don't think it is a good idea if my blog's name is "Tyrion Speaks". I think if I were to adopt this name, I will make a fool out of myself as I am not as smart as this guy 😂

Then, there is Margaery Tyrell:

Nope, definitely not for me.

At this point I am wondering why I kept on thinking about character in Game of Thrones. Maybe I should try something else that is not in Game of Thrones. Like this:

Typhoon! 

Sorry, I just cannot 😂. To my surprise, such name exist, albeit an uncommon one. I am wondering who will name their child Typhoon? Perhaps one day someone will enlighten me.

Well, what about just Ty? Such name does exist too. But I personally felt that I want to add some alphabet behind it.

That is when I found "Tyson". I like this name! It is pronounced as TY-sun. According to the website, it is mentioned that

Tyson is a very popular first name for males (#569 out of 1220, Top 47%) and also a very popular surname for both adults and children (#1152 out of 150436, Top 1%). (2000 U.S. DEMOGRAPHICS)

Does that mean that I will be popular one day? (Syok sendiri-ing 😂 - it means self-amusing or entertaining oneself).

Then someone told me that the name sounds like the following character:

Tarzan

Oh my god!

But whatever. I guess it makes sense because Tarzan in Mandarin is 泰山.

In any case, this reminds me of an idiom (名句精华) that I learnt in secondary school:

泰山不让土壤 故能成其大

The literal translation to English is as follows:

Mount Tai never reject even a small grain of soil. This enables Mount Tai to grow to its magnificent height.

This idiom means that in order to be successful, we should have a big heart that can accommodate different peoples and things that happen to us.

Well I guess that is enough about my name searching activity. I hope that you are entertained (because I was very entertained when I embark on this journey 😂)

Then the next issue is what will I write in this blog?

Frankly, I have an idea long time ago.

Sorry, not this one 😂. How I wish I be like Nick Fury who assembled the Avengers:

But I know I am not him. At least for now. Maybe one day in the future, but today is not the day.

Anyway, my idea was to write something on accounting for my students, which I hope it can help them in understanding the subject matter more. I want the explanation to be very casual and informal (as the textbook will be the place where you can get all the formal explanation). If possible, I want it to be a little bit like "Manglish", such as this one:

Manglish can lah right? I hope I don't memper-siasui-kan my own image 😂

I may also write about my thought about anything that happen in my life (e.g. about the books I read, about the dramas or movies I watched or about the events that I participated and etc).

In any case, I guess that would be all for today. Stay tuned for any new upcoming post and if no one has tell you this before, you are an awesome person, forever and always!
